Why are hypothesis valuable even if it is not supported by data.

2 answers:

8 0

A hypothesis proposes a mechanism of change that can be tested. If the results indicate the hypothesized mechanism is not the one in operation it narrows the field and we know more. A falsified hypothesis tested by a well designed experiment still provides real evidence about the world.

It was once thought that maggots spontaneously arose from carrion. This was tested and falsified providing evidence this was not how new generations of flies appeared. This still left the question of how flies generated new life to be explored. One falsified hypothesis does not block further research into the question.

Even a failed hypothesis can increase scientific knowledge if done correctly. By knowing this hypothesis is not how something works, you save time for future scientists and can now use your effort in other investigations. That is the real value of hypothesis that are not supported by evidence.

A hypothesis is an educated guess. Your data might not match your hypothesis because like i said, a hypothesis is a guess. Your data is multiple experiments to prove whether your guess was right or wrong. The hypothesis is valuable because because it gives you a reason to prove something right or wrong. Not sure how helpful that was but it's what i can think of...

A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 69 mph in 4.5 s.

Marizza181 [45]

For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2

If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a it is always zero

b 0

c $\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Explanation:ss

Here the net charge is on the outer surface of the conductor thus this means that the net charge inside the conductor is zero

Generally the charge density of a conductor is dependent on the charge per unit area which implies that the charge density is dependent on the net charge so this means that the charge density inside the conductor is zero

Generally the direction of electric field this from the positive charge to the negative charge so from the question we can deduce that the negative charge is located on the surface of the conductor

So We can mathematically define the charge density on the surface of the electric field as

∮ $E \cdot dA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o}$

Where E is the electric field

$dA$ change in unit area

$-Q$ is the negative charge

$\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space

$EA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o }$

$\frac{Q}{A} = -\epsilon _o E$

$\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Where $\eta$ is the charge density

Elaborate on the classification of aluminum. A) Aluminum is a noble gas and has a full valence electron shell, is chemically non

scZoUnD [109]

The correct option is (B) Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.
